The Aonerex Wireless CarPlay Android Auto Screen is now available on Amazon for £37.99, reduced from its regular price of £49.99. Over 1,000 units have been purchased in the past month, according to the retailer's sales data. This seven-inch dash-mounted touchscreen supports both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, making it compatible with iPhone and Android users alike.
The device powers through the car's cigarette lighter socket and connects to a smartphone wirelessly via Bluetooth and WiFi. Once set up, drivers can manage maps, stream music, make phone calls, and send hands-free messages without taking their eyes off the road. Voice commands via Siri or Google Assistant are also supported.
Installation and Compatibility
The gadget requires no expensive installation. A sturdy bracket clips the device onto the dashboard, similar to a standard phone holder, making it compatible with virtually any car, van, or lorry that has a cigarette lighter socket. This ease of installation has been highlighted by customers, with one reviewer describing it as 'plug and play made easy'.
For those seeking alternatives, the Ventryn Car Stereo with CarPlay and Android Auto is currently £57 at Debenhams, down from £131.99. It features a 4K 10.26-inch touchscreen, wireless connectivity, hands-free Bluetooth calling, and access to music and navigation apps. A premium option is the Road Angel RA-X622BT Car Stereo, which has a seven-inch touchscreen and integrates with factory steering wheel controls, priced at £299.99 after a £100 saving. However, it requires dashboard installation rather than a simple clip-on mount.
Customer Ratings and Feedback
The Aonerex device holds an average rating of 4.2 stars from Amazon customers, with hundreds of five-star reviews. One satisfied buyer said: "Brilliant product that has made my life a lot easier. Easy to install and use, connects to Apple CarPlay automatically, and can be well-positioned for ease of use. Easy to fit and a good size." Another reviewer noted: "Bought this as an external unit, as all other units I'd fitted into my car just didn't work. Very happy to say it worked first time, connected to CarPlay almost instantly, and has everything I need for my car journeys, such as Google Maps and music services linked to your phone. Definitely recommend."
However, not all feedback was positive. One customer pointed out a practical limitation: "Doesn't have a chargeable battery, so it has to be plugged in all the time. Has to be plugged into the main 12v socket. However, it was easy to set up and, as a bigger screen for navigation, it does the job."
Deal Context and Availability
The price reduction is part of ongoing Amazon promotions, with prices correct at the time of publishing. The deal follows a trend of affordable car tech upgrades, as drivers seek to modernise older vehicles without costly installations. This offer is particularly timely for those planning holiday travel, as it provides a safer way to use navigation and communication features on the road.
For drivers considering the switch, the Aonerex screen offers a budget-friendly solution to bring modern connectivity to older cars, with the added benefit of a straightforward setup process that does not require professional fitting.
